The band arrived to the venue early. They were set up and ready to start before the reception started. The music was wonderful. The musicians were easy to work with from start to end. Looking forward to the next opportunity to use them.

Dawn, thanks so much for the wonderful review. We always enjoy performing for your organization. Thanks so much!!

Decades Band & Show is a phenomenal band! We had the jazz quartet for our nonprofit fundraiser and they were excellent: brought all their own equipment, had no problems setting up, were super responsive to needing to stop and start to accommodate our program and speeches, and were a hit all night! We got so many compliments on how excellent the band was. I definitely want to hire them again, and everyone else should too!

Charlie what a wonderful Organization and cause!!! Decade's band was honored that you chose us to perform. What a beautiful venue !!!! wow the view!! I am so very pleased that we were a positive addition to a great Gala!!
Thanks So Much

Decades Band's Jazz Quartet was amazing. The smooth sounds of jazz filled our space with a diverse collection of music. I received rave reviews from so many of our guests. Everything- food, lighting and the band, came together wonderfully to create the best hospitality reception possible. The band arrived on time, set-up and was ready to start just before the start time of the reception. Bryan was easy to work with to get the band booked.Thank you Decades for your awesomeness!

Thanks Dawn so much for allowing Decade's the opportunity to perform at your event. Your kind words are very much appreciated. ??

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 28, 2019•From Bowie, MD
WOW!!!!! The band was incredible. All my guests kept asking about the band commenting how Awesome they were. They really took my celebration to the next level. The band was extremely in tune with what music was needed at the correct time. I even started sing and they were able to pick the song up and flowed with me. I could not have asked for a better evening and they were a large part of it. I will definitely be referring Decades Band. Simply Amazing!!!!

Julie, thanks so much for the kind words!!! We really had a great time. You have a wonderful family and your friends are truly fun...Wow and your voice is great! We had a blast for sure.
Thanks Again!!

Veteran's Day Party•Reviewed on November 20, 2015•From Owings Mills, MD
I've booked hundreds of jazz and blues bands in my event marketing career. "Decades" is the best amateur band that I have ever heard. Noone left the venue until the band said good night! We will definitely both them for our first event in 2016. Philip Strambler, Commander, Liberty Post 122; CEO, In Honor of Our Troops (IHOOT Foundation, Inc.)

Bryan was totally on top of things -- very proactive and also very accommodating to our ever-changing plans for the event. Most importantly, we were blown away by the band's performance! Decades was definitely the highlight of our party.

Decades Band was the soul and heart of our event. What a talented and personable group of ladies and gentlemen musicians! Of course, our event was about the guests, but Decades Band was an important guest, capping the mood of the afternoon with a varied Summer Hat of melodies, always at just the right temperature. And their main singer put FEELing into songs that, before, I thought were simply background tunes. Luscious keyboards/fill-in bass; sonorous sax; judicious guitar; accurate drums; well-fingered bass; with just the right amount of slish-slosh shakers. Wish I could cancel streaming, inviting Decades to dine/celebrate with us all the time! Till the next Decade
:
Thanks so much for the kind words Joseph. We love playing your affair!! Your family and friends are simply fantastic. Decades will always be there for you. I really appreciate your support over the years. You were our first client and your input has molded our growth for sure. Thanks Again
Warmest Regards and please express my sentiment to your wonderful wife!!

We found Decades Band through GigMasters and they were a perfect fit for our holiday reception. Very accommodating in terms of what music could be played and even the singer dressed in our company color! Wonderful band with a wide range setlist. Everyone was singing and dancing along. We highly recommend Decades Band and would most likely hire again! Thanks for a wonderful night!

Decades Band recognized our veterans at the United States Postal Service headquarters ceremony on Nov. 8, 2018. We were honored to have the members of the band contribute to the success of the Veterans Day Event and a pleasure working with them. We look forward to working with Decades Band in the near future. Awesome performance!!!

The band was very accommodating, Bryan did a great job of responding quickly to my questions, and staying in touch. I did not have the opportunity to really listen to much of the gig as I was busy handling other activities during most of the band's play time. I did get good reports about the music and know the band was friendly and accommodating as they loaded in and prepared for the evening. We would be happy to hire them again!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 6, 2016•From Middleburg, VA
The band was awesome! Our wedding was planned in a very short time frame and my wife and I didn't have an elaborate play list but the band took our preferred genres and came up with a great mix of jazz, modern R&B, funk, and other hip music. Brian was great with his communication and recommendations. The price was just right as well which included band performance and DJ play.

Private Party•Reviewed on August 23, 2015•From La Plata, MD
Decades Band bowled us over with all facets of their appearance: the ***** above are not exaggerations! Oh, and they were true gentlemen, too (there was no star category for that). Decades Band adapted to our outdoor private venue without skipping a beat (I suppose that's important, except in reggae). They charmed all of our guests. Decades played the repertoire that we, the hosts, requested; performed some mesmerizing solos, and added in some tunes that guests requested. It was like having our own Jazz & Standards Festival, right in our back yard. Bravo!
